Super-Takumar/Auto-Takumar/Takumar 135mm F3.5
I have the chrome version and the condition was still great. Pre-set ring is a bit stiff but the aperture ring was smooth. Focus throw is very large which is very good for fine tuning but not useful for fast moving subjects (unless they are >15 m away).
Very sharp in my opinion. Coupled with Pentax DSLR in-body stabilisation system it is very easy to use, just preset aperture, focus, then close down and shoot. Unlike K or M lenses, the preset lenses are usable in Av mode because you can (have to) physically close down the aperture.
ISO 6400 image below seems sharp (no post-process). Slow moving animals are fine to shoot with.

This croc is shot at a relatively lower ISO 200 (there is a fence between me and the animal but was blurred out thanks to the focal length and relatively large aperture than cheap zooms,

DIfficult but not impossible to capture fast subject!

Overall this is lens I would recommend if you want to get used to the 135mm focal length before going for a more expensive modern lens.
